THE New York Mail and Express says

THE New York Mail and Express says
of the superb stutue Of Gen. Garfield
erected in Washington, last week:
The most fortunate circumstance in
connection with the completed efforts
of the Army of the Cumberland to erect
a statue of its old Chief OF Staff, was It's
choice Of sculptor, who should em6ody
in enduring bronze the heroic figure that
was so familiar to its rank and file.
Not only was Mr.. Quincy Ward the one
sculptor who, on general principles, was
best fitted for the task had he never seen
or known Garfield, but it seems that his
knowledge of Garfield began in y very
peculiar manner. His own account of
it, as given in An interview, was that in
1860, while engaged in making bust of
Gov. DelnisOn, In Ohio, a young man,
sturdy in appearance, with blond beard
and blue eyes entered. Turning to me
Gov. Dennison said: Mr.. Ward, let me
introduce Mr.. Garfield, who is a rising
young statesman. and turning to the
newcomer said: Mr.. Ward is a promis-
ing young sculptor Perhaps one Of
these days he may have an opport unity
of immOrtalizing you in bronze
"The Governors prophetic Insight was
justified in both cases, aud Wards Gar
field, ia one of the most commanding
positions at the National Capital, will
for ages stand out as a very truthful
and inspiring representation of the form
and features of the rising young States
man of 1860"

The Gazette flies into rage about
the assessors blanks expose, and calls
people hard names This neither fright
ems nor hurts any one. The fact stands
that that paper has got present from
the county treasury of about S45 annu-
ally for the past fourteen years at tire
hands of our late able Democratic Audi
tors. That is the manner they adept to
pay their political debts. Some people
think they should pay such obligations
from their own pockets, but they and
their organ think it is legitimate to
n axe the taxpayers pay them.

THE Insurance companies are securing
a list of the towns IN Ohio that have,
under the local option feature of the
Dow law. abolished the traffic in their
localities aud are giving lower rate of
insurance to such points. 1t is based on
the ground OF preferred risks and the
fact that there has been some violence
and destruction of property in towns
where the agitation has been kept up, as
is shown in the events at Cedaryille
and other points. The principle of lax

If the editor of the Gazette will hold
communion with his own conscience-if
be has any-he will discover that he
has Inflicted much deeper wounds upon
his kin than any one else has.
The writer of these lines has felt and
expressed the deepest sympathy for
that afflicted family; bat felt aud ex-
pressed the opinion that methods for
relief had been reSorted to that were
rrprehensible, and that opinion was
universal throughout the town. Under
such circumstances, silence upon the
part of this paper would have been
criminal. The same feeling existed
throughout the troubles that have envi-
runed the Gazette for more than a year.
a substantial and valuable favor was
rendered that paper by the writer last
summer, unsolicited.
The Gazettes course in this matter
is unmanly, to say the least of it.

THE Gazette takes lnhnite delight in
calling attention to the fact that Com
missioner Berry did not have the adj
vantages afforded more favored boys,
like the editor, for example. The editor
thinks 1t crime to be born poor, and
to have to devote boyhood days to earn
ing something to eat and wear. And it
is especially criminal for the boys of
poor parents to aspire TO public office
The Offices were created for college
bred youths, like the editor. Mr.. Berry
and other men like him. less favored
in their youth, should be content and
proud to maintain men like the editor
of the Gazette in Office.

THE Gazette reiterates the miserable
falsehood that the Commissioners have
drawn large sums of money from the
county treasury for car fare they did
not pay. Our information is that this
is not true, and our impression is that
the people of the county will accept the
declarations of the Commissioners as
against the frenzied and malignant as
saults of a beaten and mercenary news
paper, msddened because the Commis'
siOners have disallowed some of its
exhorbitant claims for printing, and
because of the fact of the exposure of
mal-administration of the Auditors
Office by Democrats.
Ii is a fact known to most people who
know much of the affairs about our
county Offices that the County Auditor
is provided with annual passes over the
railroads running through the county.
He is member of the board that apr
praises their property, and the railroads
take sufficient interest in that transac-
ton to see that he is not troubled with
purchasing tickets, like common folks
This may be good thing for the rail
roads, but it can not be an especially
good thing for the people of the county,
whose agent this officer is, and who is
paid good salary for attending to their
business. When away from home ap~
prsiSing railroad property the law
allows him to charge, in addition to his
ordinary salary, three dollars for each
day actually employed and ten cents per
mile for each mile travelled to reach the
place appointed to meet the other ap-
praisers. The latter is meant to cover
the expense of travel. including hotel
bills and car fare. The appraisements
are made annually, in the month of
May.

Barrett, the last Democratic Auditor, for
